The world of toothpick durability weapons killed it for me. Again.
It seems like the weapons are less durable in TotK, I didn't mind durability in BotW but I go though weapons way too fast now.
Oh? I felt fusing extended durability so much that it was less of an issue. But I didn't mind the feature in the first one either
It's probably to force you into being creative with the games mechanics. Which is not a good reason.
What? That’s an excellent reason to restrict a weapon.
I’m reminded of the RE4 remake. They added a cool parry system, but with practice it becomes too reliable, turning enemies into a non-threat. By adding limited durability to the knife, they get players to prioritize offense, only use parries as a last resort, and use all their resources proactively.
Alright, so it's a good reason, but in this case it's not optimally executed.
